Neighbourhood Library in Downtown Amman
About the project The goal was to design a library that serves the locals in the neighbourhood.the site is located on a slope so the building follows the typology of the site.It also reects the two cultures and identities surrounding the site .which are the simple community and craftsmens in downtown and the artisitic and intellectuals of weibdah(the neighbourhood located in the area near the top of the slope.
THE SITE DELIVERS TWO DIFFERENT IDENTITIES,NARRATIVES AND IMAGE. MY APPROACH WAS TO DELIVER A SPACE WHERE THE PROGRAM SERVES THE NARRATIVES.

SITE ANALYSIS
THE PUBLIC PLAZA NEAR THE BUILDING HAS GREAT IMPORTANCE AND WITNESSES A VERY IMPORTANT ACTIVITY SO AS PART OF MY DESIGN THE PLAZA WILL KEEP ITS IMPORTANCe. this area is also famous for local crafts and handmade products and art pieces,so as part of my design i added arts and crafts hall to display the work of the locals.Near the old biolding there were some kiosks that sell books i relocated the kiosks to be close to the new extention and placed seatings and a small cafe for local community in the area.

7X7X7 House for an artist (personal design)
“Exile is more than a geographical concept. You can be an exile in your homeland, in your own house, in a room. “ Mahmoud Darwish An artist,whether a musician,an author or a painter,they all need a spacial and isolated space where they can be in touch with their inner selves.. The form of this house which is 7X7X7 meter is inspired by the idea of beholding, and that’s what the house serves to the resident in it .
